Hi,
I am using a Debian Sid system with the GNOME desktop related packages from
experimental (GNOME 44). And:
$ id
uid=1001(patrice) gid=1001(patrice)
groupes=1001(patrice),4(adm),24(cdrom),25(floppy),27(sudo),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),109(netdev),113(bluetooth),117(scanner),135(sbuild),1000(lpadmin)
Activating a VPN configuration is working nicely. But when switching back to the
default network configuration it does not seem to not be ideal.
Also the network is working but seems to me somehow degraded.
Here are the traces observed using journalctl:

░░ The unit NetworkManager-dispatcher.service has successfully entered the

As you can see (sorry for the french messages), they are some 'Operation not
permitted'
and 'Permission denied' messages among them.
Some services are then affected such as:
juin 26 19:54:11 HOSTNAME goa-daemon[3041]: g_socket_client_connect_to_host()

Any help is welcome.
Thanks,
Patrice
ps: is there a more specific Debian mailing list (or a Debian Network Team)
related to network stuff?
